The Flower Maiden of the Gwragedd Annwn
According to Welsh legend, in ancient times, there was a door in a rock by the side of a lake. Every New Year’s morning the door would be found open. If one dared to enter one would find a passage that led one to an magic island in the center of the lake. On the island lived the Gwragedd Annwn, a fairy folk, who would provide the most exquisite fruits and flowers and entertain their guests with enchanting music.

The figure in the center is the Goddess of Sovereignty. Behind and in front of her are the four treasures of Ireland.
